Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't hardly see
Thank you kindly but that don't help
Maybe it's just me
It seems I've had this problem since
My baby packed up to leave
You see she used to be my sunshine
Night is fallin' in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin' in my heart
Could you pull those curtains back
And let the morning in
What's that you say? Oh, is that a fact?
Well it still seems mighty dim
I guess I'll just have to live this way
Unless my baby comes back again
You see she used to be my sunshine
Now we're far apart
Night is fallin' in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin' in my heart
And as the last ray of love
Slowly disappears
Alone in this endless night
I just see one thing clear
You see she used to be my sunshine
Now we're far apart
Night is fallin' in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin' in my heart
Night is fallin' in my heart
In my heart
In my heart
The lyrics of A. J. P.'s "Always in My Heart" tell a story of heartbreak and the darkness that can consume someone in the wake of lost love. The singer of the song is asking for the lights to be turned up, but no matter how high they are, nothing seems to shine as bright as it once did. The darkness consuming him is a metaphor for the sadness and loneliness he feels since his lover left him. He expresses a deep longing for his lover to come back and make the light in his life shine bright again.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more defeated and desperate. He asks for the curtains to be pulled back and for the morning light to come in, but it's not enough. The light is still dim, and he resigns himself to live in the darkness until his lover returns. The song's climax comes with the powerful lyric: "And as the last ray of love slowly disappears, alone in this endless night, I just see one thing clear." The singer is resigned to his fate and sees no way out of the darkness unless his love returns to him.

The root of his sadness started when his love left him
My baby packed up to leave

Slowly disappears
He is losing all of the love and happiness he once had
Alone in this endless night
His despair has left him feeling isolated and lost in the darkness
I just see one thing clear
The only thing he knows for sure is that he misses his lover
Night is fallin' in my heart
He is stuck in his despair and can't see a way out
In my heart
These feelings are deeply ingrained in him and he can't shake them
In my heart
The sadness and loneliness he feels are a part of him, always present
